Writer: How can I convert all fields in a doc to fixed content?

[chrisjj]

I see an “Fixed content” checkbox under “Insert fields” but not a way to apply this to all existing fields.

Find field, replace by plain text, keep formating

Believe it or not, this problem was solved many years ago, the solution is described in the Wiki:Converting fields into text, but unfortunately the link to the forum does not work (it does not work for me, perhaps you can find that topic) The code that does this trick is very simple: Sub FieldsToText 'Writer Only!' Dim oDoc,oFields,oEnum,ThisField oDoc = ThisComponent oFields = oDoc.getTextFields oEnum = oFields.createEnumeration While oEnum.HasMoreElements ThisField = oEnum…

@JohnSUN

Sub FieldsToText 'Writer Only!'
Dim oDoc,oFields,oEnum,ThisField
   oDoc = ThisComponent
   oFields = oDoc.getTextFields
   oEnum = oFields.createEnumeration
   While oEnum.HasMoreElements
       ThisField = oEnum.nextElement
       ThisField.Anchor.String = ThisField.Anchor.String
   Wend
End Sub

Thank you.
